Delay & new feature idea

Unfortunately, I won't be able to work on NDSMail for the next 7 days or so.

It seems there are some problems with mini-SD flash cards (SC miniSD,M3 miniSD). This is rather strange, as they should be compatible to the SD cards. I think this is caused by the special version of the fat lib I'm using. The new libfat looks very promising, but it does not support the SC SD yet. If I had one of the flashcards causing trouble, I could improve compatibilty ( hint hint )

a friend of mine proposed a great feature:auto-connect: If none of the preferred access points is found, the app will try to connect to any of the (open) access points in range. So if you are in a public area, chances are that you will find an open, non-protected access point. (Note that this may be illegal in some countries. But I know that at least in germany you are allowed to connect to any access point that is not protected).

new feature sounds very good ! also if you could have a 'leave messages on server' option for pop3 it would be good! i know u can set the option in gmail but others might not support it. great work so far :)

To get your Wifi working for most routers you will need to manualy enter your wifi info in the DS using and WiFi compatibile game. For some reason if you use auto search for AP it may not work with NDSMail.
